The JFK & RFK Assassinations

"President Kennedy's assassination was the work of
magicians. It was a stage trick, complete with accessories and false
mirrors, and when the curtain fell the actors, and even the scenery,
disappeared." - Farewell
America, said to be written by a French intelligence service.

5 of the Most Important JFK Files the CIA Is Still Hiding 11/14/2017 Alternet: "The
still-secret files document the careers of five top CIA officers implicated in
the events that culminated in the murder of the popular liberal president in
Dallas on Nov. 22, 1863. The publicly available portions of these files do not
contain “smoking gun” proof of conspiracy. But they do refute the official story
that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and unaided. While incomplete, the new JFK
files show that Oswald did not act alone in the years, months and weeks leading
up to Kennedy's murder. The files confirm he acted while being monitored and
surveilled by top undercover CIA officers."

What Happened Thursday with the JFK Records? 10/26/2017 Mary Ferrell
Foundation: "What happened on Thursday, Oct. 26, with the JFK records scheduled
for release under the JFK Records Act? A travesty. Most news reports correctly
noted the release of about 2800 documents, but added that only a few were held
back, in some cases saying "300 documents" remain withheld (see CNN, and
Washington Post for example). They are off by a factor of 100. In fact, tens of
thousands of documents, possibly as many as 30,000, remain sealed at the
National Archives."

NSA Concealed Records on JFK Assassination for Decades 10/25/2017 The
Intercept: "The slated release, according to Morley, includes files on top CIA
officers in the ’60s and ’70s, as well as hundreds of pages on the Watergate
burglars. “I have always believed that some of these documents are so sensitive
and embarrassing … the agencies are going to request continued postponement,”
said Morley. Some of that embarrassment lies in the intelligence community’s own
ties to the five Watergate burglars, several of whom were reportedly former CIA
agents or recruits."

Top 4 Revelations From the New JFK Files 9/12/2017 Alternet: "On AlterNet,
I quoted extensively from the same records to argue that the JFK investigation
was not so much botched as "controlled" by top CIA officials, including
Angleton. The CIA made at least four false statements to investigators. The
effect of these statements was to conceal what top CIA officers, including
Angleton, knew of Oswald while JFK was still alive."

Missing from the New JFK Files: Batch of CIA Records on Lee Harvey Oswald 9/1/2017 Alternet: "The
handling of information about Oswald before the assassination shows that he was
a figure of deep and constant interest to Angleton and his staff in the four
years before JFK was killed. So conspiracy theories notwithstanding, Oswald’s
CIA security file is historically significant."

Shell
Games 8/29/2017 Assassination Archives: "In 1998 CIA handed over LHO’s
Security files to the ARRB. Upon delivery staffers there discovered that of the
7 volume set, one volume, Volume 5, was missing. Prior to sending over the files
to the ARRB the CIA’s Historical Review Group, now “consolidated” (disbanded)
and reformed as part of IMS (IMG) Information Management Services (Group), also
spotted this curious anomaly and had sought to try and work out some sort of
explanation for the disappearance."

New JFK Files: CIA Used State Department to Run Guns for Assassinations 8/15/2017 Who
what why: "Fearing Trujillo’s sadistic tyranny had so alienated the population
that his continuation in power would spark a communist-led uprising like Cuba’s
the year before, the Eisenhower administration opted to support liberals who
hoped to replace the dictator with a pro-US military-civilian junta."

The Conspiracy Theorist-in-Chief Will Decide the Fate of Secret Documents on
JFK's Assassination 6/21/2017 Alternet: "Now, on the year marking the 100th
anniversary of Kennedy’s birth, the conspiracy theorist in the White House will
have to decide whether highly anticipated secret JFK assassination files can be
released in October as planned. By law, federal agencies such as the CIA and FBI
may contest the release of these records, but in that case, the president would
make the final call."

Sixteen Mind-Blowing Facts About Who Really Killed John F. Kennedy 3/24/2017 Global
Research: "Many of the facts revealed in this article were gleaned from the book
“JFK and the Unspeakable,” by Jim Douglass, which has recently been endorsed by
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I use Douglass’s book as a main source, as all of his
facts are documented in over 100 pages of endnotes, citing declassified
government documents contained in the National Archives building in Maryland,
which are available to the public."

The Secret Files of the JFK Assassination 6/13/2016 Alternet: "The
following is the final chapter in the new ebook CIA & JFK: The Secret
Assassination Files by former Washington Post reporter Jefferson Morley."

Concerned About Nuclear Weapons Potential, John F. Kennedy Pushed for Inspection
of Israel Nuclear Facilities 4/21/2016 National Security
Archive: "President John F. Kennedy worried that Israel’s nuclear program was a
potentially serious proliferation risk and insisted that Israel permit periodic
inspections to mitigate the danger, according to declassified documents
published today by the National Security Archive, Nuclear Proliferation
International History Project, and the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation
Studies. Kennedy pressured the government of Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion to
prevent a military nuclear program, particularly after stage-managed tours of
the Dimona facility for U.S. government scientists in 1961 and 1962 raised
suspicions within U.S. intelligence that Israel might be concealing its
underlying nuclear aims."

Gerald Ford White House Altered Rockefeller Commission Report in 1975; Removed
Section on CIA Assassination Plots 2/29/2016 National Security
Archive: "The Gerald Ford White House significantly altered the final report of
the supposedly independent 1975 Rockefeller Commission investigating CIA
domestic activities, over the objections of senior Commission staff, according
to internal White House and Commission documents posted today by the National
Security Archive at The George Washington University (www.nsarchive.org). The
changes included removal of an entire 86-page section on CIA assassination plots
and numerous edits to the report by then-deputy White House Chief of Staff
Richard Cheney. Today’s posting includes the entire suppressed section on
assassination attempts, Cheney’s handwritten marginal notes, staff memos warning
of the fallout of deleting the controversial section, and White House strategies
for presenting the edited report to the public."

The JFK Assassination: Why CIA’s Richard Helms Lied About Oswald 12/24/2015 Global
Research: by Peter Dale Scott - "I wish in this essay to show how Richard Helms
first lied to the Warren Commission about the CIA and Lee Harvey Oswald. I argue
that his performance, and that of other CIA officials up to the present,
constituted significant obstruction of justice with respect to one of this
country’s most important unsolved murder cases."

Why CIA’s Richard Helms Lied About Oswald: Part 1 12/23/2015 Who.What.Why: "The
CIA and FBI were not alone in their post-assassination falsification of facts
about Oswald. At one point even the Mexican government participated in this
high-level cover-up: It supplied when needed a falsified bus manifest and later
a falsified version of its statement taken from Cuban Consulate official Silvia
Durán."

The Origin Of Conspiracy Theory 6/4/2015 Oneness of Humanity: "He describes
how the Central Intelligence Agency in 1967 sent a memo to all of its station
chiefs worldwide to use propaganda and media connections to discredit anyone
disputing the findings of the Warren Commission on the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy as a “conspiracy theorist”. This was in response to a
number of published books which questioned the “lone gunman theory” and became
bestsellers. Before 1967, published media reports rarely used the term
“conspiracy theorist”, but after that CIA memo Miller argues the derogatory term
has become used to shut down credibility of left critiques or discussions of
government misbehavior/crimes."

U.S. Suspected Israeli Involvement in 1960s Missing Uranium 8/6/2014 WSJ: "The
theft suspicions surround events at a now-dismantled facility in Apollo, Pa.,
owned by a company called Nuclear Materials & Equipment Corp., or Numec. In the
mid-1960s, some 200 pounds of bomb-grade uranium—enough possibly for several
Hiroshima-sized bombs—couldn't be accounted for there."

Chomsky Weighs in on Kennedy Assassination Anniversary: "It Would Impress Kim
Il-Sung" 11/22/2013 Truth Out: "Kennedy is easy. The invasion of Cuba was
outright aggression. Eisenhower planned it, incidentally, so he was involved in
a conspiracy to invade another country, which we can add to his score. After the
invasion of Cuba, Kennedy launched a huge terrorist campaign against Cuba, which
was very serious. No joke; bombardment of industrial installations with killing
of plenty of people, bombing hotels, sinking fishing boats, sabotage. Later,
under Nixon, it even went as far as poisoning livestock and so on. Big affair;
and then came Vietnam; he invaded Vietnam. He invaded South Vietnam in 1962. He
sent the US Air Force to start bombing."

Barry Seal, the Dallas get-away plane, and the JFK assassination 11/22/2013 Mad
Cow Morning News: "Again, for emphasis: three days after the JFK assassination,
a Secret Service Agent in Chicago reported that somone and who worked for CJ
Simpson de Cuba, the company Barry Seal is citing to blackmail his judge with
"national security concerns" in his trial for exporting explosives—knew
President Kennedy was going to be assassinated before it happened. Moreover he
was associated with connected with the DRE and the 30th of November Movement—the
two groups said to be training at the CIA's "rogue" camp for assassins in
Lacombe, Louisiana."

Air Force One Radio Recordings Updated 11/21/2013 JFK Countercoup: "Morely:
“It’s not the tape itself. It’s what the tape tells us. And what the tape tells
us is that there was a longer recording of the Air Force One communications on
Nov. 22. That was never known before. What the tape tells us is there could be,
somewhere, a recording of the reaction of the U.S. national security agencies to
the president’s death,” said Morley"

Surgeon in ER insists 2 gunmen shot JFK Doctor first to see Kennedy's wound 11/18/2013 Pittsburgh
Post Gazette: "Speaking via teleconference to a Duquesne University symposium
marking the 50th anniversary of the assassination, Robert N. McClelland said he
was the first doctor in Parkland Hospital's Trauma Room One to notice the
massive wound in the back of Kennedy's skull and that a trauma of that size had
to be an exit wound. "The whole right side of his skull was gone. I could look
inside his skull cavity. Obviously, it was a mortal wound," he told a spellbound
audience of legal, medical, forensic and investigative experts and the public
who packed the university's Power Ballroom. Dr. McClelland, now 83 and professor
emeritus at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, said that
because it was an exit wound, it logically followed that it had been fired from
in front of the president's limousine. And, in turn, that meant a second gunman
was involved in the assassination, contradicting the Warren Commission's finding
that there was but one assassin."

CIA admits undercover officer lived in New Orleans 11/11/2013 JFK
Facts: "In a court motion filed last week, the CIA acknowledged for the first
time that deceased CIA officer George Joannides lived in New Orleans while
handling contacts with an anti-Castro student organization whose members had a
series of encounters with accused presidential assassin Lee Oswald in August
1963."

JFK Assassination: CIA and New York Times are Still Lying To Us 11/6/2013 Salon: "These
dark waters are simply too ominous for authors like Shenon and Willens to
explore. Despite his willingness to expose the Warren Commission’s tortured
process, Shenon cannot bring himself to condemn its conclusions. At the end of
the day, he remains a product of the New York Times – a newspaper that rushed to
embrace the Warren Report months before it was even completed and, as Abramson’s
wordy screed attests, is still more interested in ridiculing and marginalizing
even the most credible conspiracy researchers than in getting at the truth.
Mainstream journalists know that – even 50 years (!) later — they don’t dare go
beyond the safe confines of “we’ll never know,” or they won’t be appearing on
“Meet the Press” any time soon."

50 YEARS AFTER THE ASSASSINATION OF KENNEDY The frustrated CIA and Chiefs of
Staff coup 10/17/2013 Granma: by Gabriel Molina Franchossi - "It is not by
chance that the most public defenders of the group of Cuban gangsters suspected
of conspiring in the plot, are supported in eluding justice by Ileana Ros
Lehtinen, Mario Díaz-Balart and a group of Congress members financed with
resources that the government grants them in the name of freedom. Obama would
seem to have forgotten that, right after his election, these ultra-conservatives
refused to meet with him. Ileana Ros went so far as to refuse a telephone
conversation with him. This group, which has the backing of the pro-Israeli
lobby and the military-industrial complex, has hijacked U.S. Cuba policy,
despite the fact that both civil and economic actors in U.S. society has stated
that the normalization of relations is as important for the United States as it
is for Cuba."

50 years later, sealed JFK files still raise questions 8/17/2013 AP: "It
turns out that several hundred of the still-classified pages concern a deceased
CIA agent, George Joannides, whose activities just before the assassination and,
fascinatingly, during a government investigation years later, have tantalized
researchers for years."

Book by former CIA analyst sheds light on Cuba, Kennedy, Oswald 7/8/2013 Reuters: "Mann
learned shortly after Kennedy's death that Oswald had stayed at the Hotel del
Comercio in Mexico City, known by the CIA to be a haven for Cuban spies in
Mexico working for the DGI, Havana's national intelligence agency, closely run
by Castro. Mann learned this information at the time from the CIA station chief
in Mexico, according to his memoirs, written in 1982. But when he raised it with
his superiors in Washington, Mann was silenced by the State Department and told
to cease his inquiries about Oswald's stay in Mexico."

RFK Jr.: Evidence ‘Very Convincing’ Lone Gunman Did Not Kill JFK 1/12/2013 CBS: "He
said his father had investigators do research into the assassination and found
that phone records of Oswald and nightclub owner Jack Ruby, who killed Oswald
two days after the president's assassination, “were like an inventory” of mafia
leaders the government had been investigating. He said his father, later elected
U.S. senator in New York, was “fairly convinced” that others were involved."

CLOSE TO 50 YEARS AFTER HIS ASSASSINATION Kennedy’s dream 11/29/2012 Granma: "In
February 1996, Robert Kennedy Jr. and his brother, Michael, traveled to Havana
to meet with Fidel Castro. As a gesture of goodwill, they brought a file of
formerly top secret U.S. documents on the Kennedy administration's covert
exploration of an accommodation with Cuba…Castro thanked them for the file and
shared his impression that it was [President Kennedy's] intention after the
missile crisis to change the framework of relations between the United States
and Cuba. ‘It's unfortunate,’ said Castro, ‘that things happened as they did,
and he could not do what he wanted to do."

National Archives: No new JFK docs 6/14/2012 Salon: "The Archives’ decision
comes as two former CIA officers have gone public with the unsubstantiated
conspiracy theory that Cuban leader Fidel Castro had advance knowledge of JFK’s
assassination in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. In a piece published in the Daily
Beast this week, retired CIA officer Glenn Carle claimed that “the Cuban
dictator knew of Lee Harvey Oswald’s intention to kill President Kennedy.” Carle
also defended a deceased CIA colleague, David Phillips, from allegations of JFK
conspiracy theorists that he connived in JFK’s death. The still-secret CIA
records could clarify the issue. The records include more than 600 pages of
material on the career of Phillips, the chief of the Agency’s anti-Castro
operations in 1963. Phillips oversaw the surveillance of accused assassin Lee
Harvey Oswald in Mexico City six weeks before Kennedy was killed. Antonio
Veciana, an anti-Castro Cuban who worked for the CIA in the 1960s, told
congressional investigators in 1976 that he saw an Agency officer whom he knew
as “Maurice Bishop” with Oswald two months before JFK was killed. At the time,
the CIA unequivocally denied that Phillips had ever used that name. In the Daily
Beast article, Carle, a colleague of Phillips, admitted what the Agency has long
denied: that Phillips had used the name "Maurice Bishop."

THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION: SOMEONE KNEW IN ADVANCE - A coup d’état 5/24/2012 Granma: "Four
days later, on November 27, Fidel analyzed the Oswald as lone gunman theory and
his alleged pro-Castro sympathies, which nobody was questioning at that point.
He quoted Hubert Hammerer, Olympic shooting champion, who stated that it was
highly unlikely that anyone firing with a repeater carbine fitted with a
telescopic sight could hit a target three times in the space of five seconds,
when firing at a moving target at a distance of 180 meters, traveling at 15mph."
On the basis of his own experiences in the Sierra Maestra, with weapons fitted
with a telescopic sight like the one Oswald was said to have used, Fidel added,
"Once you fire at the target it is lost – due to the effect of the shot – and
you have to find it again quickly (…) with this kind of weapon it is really very
difficult to fire three consecutive shots. But, above all, difficult to hit the
target like that. Almost impossible."

The Kennedy assassination: somebody knew in advance 5/17/2012 Granma: "On
February 1, 1962, the president had replaced Cabell as deputy director of the
CIA. On April 19, 1961, Cabell had tried to force Kennedy to authorize the use
of fighter planes from an aircraft carrier stationed close to Cuba, an action
that he stated could change the course of the Bay of Pigs in a matter of
minutes. Pentagon chiefs, headed by Lemnitzer and Walker and those of the CIA,
especially Dulles and Cabell virtually rebelled and continued trying to provoke
direct military intervention in Cuba. For these reasons, the decision of General
Cabell’s brother who, as mayor of Dallas, diverted the presidential convoy as it
was traveling along Mayor Street toward the center of Dealey Plaza heading for
Stemmons Highway, as planned, was highly suspicious. "On Mayor Street,
continuing along the open boulevard, shots could not have reached him… at the
last minute the President’s route was changed to make it pass where the
warehouse is."

WHO KILLED DOROTHY KILGALLEN? 4/15/2012 Midwest Today: published in 2007 -
"Marc Sinclaire said that in October 1965, during the New York newspaper strike,
Dorothy hired him to meet her in New Orleans. Marc explained, "She didn't tell
me why we were going. She just asked me could I go with her, and I said 'yes.'
She told me how I was to travel, where I was to go, what I was to do. And I'd
never been to New Orleans before, so I didn't know anything about it. We didn't
even travel on the same plane together. I went directly to my hotel, we talked
[on the phone], and then I went over to her hotel and had dinner. And then I
went back to mine. And the next morning, I was supposed to go do her hair and
make-up, and she called me at my hotel and she said, 'I want you to go to the
airport, I've left a ticket for you, and I want you to go immediately back to
New York, and never tell anyone you came to New Orleans with me.' And I said
'okay' and I left. I did not do her hair." Somebody or something had apparently
spooked Kilgallen."

The Kennedy assassination: Did Castro know in advance? 3/17/2012 Miami
Herald: "But now his assignment had abruptly been changed, at least for the day.
“The leadership wants you to stop your CIA work, all your CIA work,” his boss
said. Instead, the officer was told he had a new target: Texas, “any little
detail small detail from Texas.” And about three hours later, shortly after
mid-day on Nov. 22, 1963, the shocked intelligence officer had something to
report that was much more than a small detail: the assassination in Dallas of
President John F. Kennedy."

The
Doomsday Project and Deep Events: JFK, Watergate, Iran-Contra, and 9/11 11/21/2011 Peter
Dale Scott: "My point is a simple and important one: to show that the Doomsday
Project of the 1980s, and the earlier emergency planning that developed into it,
have played a role in the background of all the deep events I shall discuss.
More significantly, it has been a factor behind all three of the disturbing
events that now threaten American democracy. The first of these three is what
has been called the conversion of our economy into a plutonomy – with the
increasing separation of America into two classes, into the haves and the
have-nots, the one percent and the 99 percent. The second is America’s
increasing militarization, and above all its inclination, which has become more
and more routine and predictable, to wage or provoke wars in remote regions of
the globe. It is clear that the operations of this American war machine have
served the one percent.2 The third – my subject today -- is the important and
increasingly deleterious impact on American history of structural deep events:
mysterious events, like the JFK assassination, the Watergate break-in, or 9/11,
which violate the American social structure, have a major impact on American
society, repeatedly involve law-breaking or violence, and in many cases proceed
from an unknown dark force."

The NY Times' Ostrich Act on the JFK Assassination Getting Old 7/27/2011 How
What Why: "Take the paper’s coverage of former Washington Post reporter and
author Jefferson Morley’s ongoing research on Oswald, which again points toward
Oswald not being a “leftist sympathizer” or Communist agent at all. The Times
article, generally sympathetic toward Morley, actually began with the following
disclaimer, which essentially contradicted the article’s thrust: “Is the Central
Intelligence Agency covering up some dark secret about the assassination of John
F. Kennedy? Probably not.”

New Book Recounts Tale of Israeli Agent at Home in Hollywood 7/17/2011 NYT: [Milchan
is listed in IMDb as executive producer of Oliver Stone's JFK.] "Mr. Milchan
supervised government-backed accounts and front companies that financed “the
special needs of the entirety of Israel’s intelligence operations outside the
country.” The “special needs” serviced by Mr. Milchan, who is now 66 years old,
included buying components to build and maintain Israel’s nuclear arsenal. But
with the indictment in 1985 of Richard Kelly Smyth, an aerospace executive who
had made illegal shipments of nuclear triggers through Milchan companies, Mr.
Milchan unexpectedly found his arms-dealing in the news even as he was wrangling
with Universal Pictures over the near collapse of a movie, “Brazil,” directed by
Terry Gilliam."

Convicted RFK assassin says girl manipulated him 4/28/2011 AP: "I thought
that I was at the range more than I was actually shooting at any person, let
alone Bobby Kennedy," Sirhan was quoted as saying during interviews with Daniel
Brown, a Harvard University professor and expert in trauma memory and hypnosis.
He interviewed Sirhan for 60 hours with and without hypnosis, according to the
legal brief… Brown was hired by Sirhan's lawyer William F. Pepper."

Retired FBI Agent Says Oswald Didn't Kill Kennedy 8/22/2010 FOX: "One of
Adams first assignments was investigating an extreme right radical, with
connections to the States Rights Party and KKK named Joseph Adams Milteer. "He
was reportedly one of most violent men in the country," said Adams… And an FBI
record states that after the assassination, "a jubilant" Milteer bragged to the
informant, "You thought I was kidding when I said he would be killed from a
window with a high powered rifle." Adams questions why Milteer appears in a
photograph near President Kennedy's limousine before the shooting, but was never
mentioned in the Warren Commission Report."

Israel's Central
Role in JFK Assassination 1/8/2010 Rense: "After the assassination, an
informer for the Secret Service and the FBI who had infiltrated a Cuban exile
group and was in the process of selling them machine guns, reported that on
November 21, 1963 he was told, 'We now have plenty of money-our new backers are
the Jews-as soon as they take care of JFK.' This man had furnished reliable
information in the past."

Are
Presidents Afraid of the CIA? 12/30/2009 CounterPunch: "Did Allen Dulles
and other “cloak-and-dagger” CIA operatives have a hand in killing President
Kennedy and then covering it up? The most up-to-date—and, in my view, the
best—dissection of the assassination appeared last year in James Douglass’ book,
JFK and the Unspeakable. After updating and arraying the abundant evidence, and
conducting still more interviews, Douglass concludes the answer is Yes."

Lost JFK Tapes: The Assassination Sun. Nov 29 11/28/2009 Monsters &
Critics: "National Geographic Channel will air The Lost JFK Tapes: The
Assassination on Sunday, Nov. 29. For over 45 years, news footage and radio
reports of Kennedy's assassination and the days following have quietly
languished in Dallas - first kept under wraps by the news stations who owned
them, then in the vault of a museum dedicated to preserving the memory of the
day Kennedy was cut down."

JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters 11/25/2009 Global
Research: "We are then faced with the contemporary relevance, and since we know
that every president since JFK has refused to confront the growth of the
national security state and its call for violence, one can logically assume a
message was sent and heeded. In this regard, it is not incidental that former
twenty-seven year CIA analyst Raymond McGovern, in a recent interview, warned of
the “two CIAs,” one the analytic arm providing straight scoop to presidents, the
other the covert action arm which operates according to its own rules. “Let me
leave you with this thought,” he told his interviewer, “and that is that I think
Panetta (current CIA Director), and to a degree Obama, are afraid – I never
thought I’d hear myself saying this – I think they are afraid of the CIA.” He
then recommended Douglass’ book, “It’s very well-researched and his conclusion
is very alarming.” "

Film uses N. Texas media coverage to tell story of Kennedy assassination 11/19/2009 WFAA: "The
National Geographic Channel film pulled footage from hundreds of hours of
material from the archives of the Sixth Floor Museum. "And a lot of that
material really has not been seen," said Gary Mack, the Sixth Floor Museum's
curator. "Some of it hasn't been seen since it actually happened." [Mack is seen
by other researchers as having gotten himself coopted by the coverup.]

JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters - Review of James
Douglass' Book 11/1/2009 Global Research: "When Oswald moved to New Orleans
in April 1963, de Mohrenschildt exited the picture, having asked the CIA for and
been indirectly given a $285,000 contract to do a geological survey for Haitian
dictator “Papa Doc” Duvalier, which he never did , but for which he was paid.
Ruth and Michael Paine then entered the picture on cue. Douglass illuminatingly
traces in their intelligence connections. Ruth later was the Warren Commission’s
chief witness. She had been introduced to Oswald by de Mohrenschildt. In
September 1963 Ruth Paine drove from her sister’s house in Virginia to New
Orleans to pick up Marina Oswald and bring her to her house in Dallas to live
with her. Thirty years after the assassination a document was declassified
showing Paine’s sister Sylvia worked for the CIA. Her father traveled throughout
Latin America on an Agency for International Development (notorious for CIA
front activities) contract and filed reports that went to the CIA. Her husband
Michael’s step-father, Arthur Young, was the inventor of the Bell helicopter and
Michael’s job there gave him a security clearance. Her mother was related to the
Forbes family of Boston and her lifelong friend, Mary Bancroft, worked as a WW
II spy with Allen Dulles and was his mistress. Afterwards, Dulles questioned the
Paines in front of the Warren Commission, studiously avoiding any revealing
questions. Back in Dallas, Ruth Paine conveniently got Oswald a job in the Texas
Book Depository where he began work on October 16, 1963."

Jefferson Morley’s struggle to find the truth about George Joannides and the
CIA’s fight to hide it 10/21/2009 Machetera: "The day that his brother was
assassinated, the Attorney General of the United States, Robert F. Kennedy,
spoke by telephone with one of the leaders of the terrorist campaign against
Cuba, Enrique “Harry” Ruiz-Williams. Kennedy said to him directly: “One of your
men did it.” Bobby Kennedy didn’t ask him. He told him. It came from his gut,
because he knew those people. That’s how the journalist/researcher Jefferson
Morley tells it in an interview he granted Cubadebate. “The assassination of
President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 and the dirty war against Cuba
organized by the Miami Cubans are intimately linked: they’re battles in the same
war, “ said Morley."

CIA was responsible for the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy 6/1/2009 Big
News: "According to this documentary the CIA was responsible for the
assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in November of 1962 at Daley
Plaza in Dallas Texas. John Barbour produced this landmark film, The Garrison
Tapes. This documentary tells the story of District Attorney Jim Garrison, who
investigated the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy his independent
investigation according to the movie looked closely into evidence available to
him and came forward with an interpretation that went beyond the Warren
Commission's authorized report."

Oswald, the CIA, and Mexico City 5/13/2009 Front Line: "Arguably, the most
startling information so far brought to light by the release of these
intelligence records is the CIA cover-up relating to Oswald's visit to Mexico
City. Oswald was in Mexico City in late September and early October of 1963.
During his one-week stay, he tried to obtain visas from the Cuban consulate and
Soviet embassy. But intelligence documents released in 1999 establish that,
after Oswald failed to get the visas, CIA intercepts showed that someone
impersonated Oswald in phone calls made to the Soviet embassy and the Cuban
consulate and linked Oswald to a known KGB assassin - Valery Kostikov - whom the
CIA and FBI had been following for over a year.1 The news of this impersonation
and the link to Kostikov, learned within hours of President Kennedy's
assassination, electrified top government and intelligence officials and
dominated their discussion in the immediate weeks following the assassination.
It also became during the next 40 years one of the CIA's most closely guarded
secrets on the Oswald case."

Specter's
JFK Specter By Lisa Pease 4/29/2009 Consortium News: "While Specter is
perhaps most famous for coming up with the "single bullet theory" which purports
that one bullet entered and exited two people (President Kennedy and Governor
Connally) seven times, only to emerge nearly intact, his legislative efforts of
late also give cause for concern."

Did Bush Sr. Kill Kennedy and Frame Nixon? Review of Russ Baker's new book 12/26/2008 Global
Research: "New research and newly highlighted information assembled by Baker
presents at least the strong possibility that Bush was involved in assassinating
President Kennedy, and that Bush was involved in staging the Watergate break-in
(and the break-in at Dan Ellsberg's psychiatrist's) with the purpose of having
these break-ins exposed and the blame placed on President Nixon. In this
account, those in on the get-Nixon plot included John Dean and Bob Woodward.
While this retelling of history would make a certain Robert Redford movie look
really, really silly, it would -- on the other hand -- make Woodward's
performance during Watergate fit more coherently with everything he's known to
have done before and since. It would also give new meaning to Dean's recent book
title "Conservatives Without a Conscience." I would love to see either of these
men's response to Baker's book."

Watergate and the Future: News for 2009 12/22/2008 Raw Story: "In sum, I
found that the very people who created Nixon and used him to advance their own
political interests ended up destroying him. Nixon's famous paranoia, in other
words, had a basis in reality."

JFK and Vietnam - Kennedy's assassination 45 years ago today made it an American
war. 11/22/2008 LA Times: "Kennedy was not receptive. Long before becoming
president, he had spoken out in Congress against the disastrous French
experience in Vietnam, citing it as a reason the U.S. should never fight a
ground war there. In the summer of 1961, he said he had accepted the conclusion
of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who counseled against a land war in Asia, insisting
that even a million American infantry soldiers would not be sufficient to
prevail. He would offer military aid and training to Saigon, but he would not
authorize the dispatch of ground forces. Over the three years of his presidency,
Kennedy sometimes invoked hawkish rhetoric about Vietnam. He also increased the
military advisors and training personnel there to roughly 16,000. But McNamara
and Bundy both came to believe that Kennedy would not have Americanized the war
-- even if the price was communism in South Vietnam."

The Assassinations of the 1960s as "Deep Events" 10/17/2008 History
Matters: [by Peter Dale Scott, brilliant as always] - "In writing this paper I
have been helped immeasurably by the Mary Ferrell Foundation website,
http://www.maryferrell.org. This comparative approach is now made much easier by
the addition of MLK and RFK files to the existing JFK collection. As there is
far more research to be done, I am hoping that some younger resercher will take
advantage of this new opportunity."

Scientists Cast Doubt on Kennedy Bullet Analysis - Multiple Shooters Possible,
Study Says 5/17/2008 Wapo: "In a collision of 21st-century science and
decades-old conspiracy theories, a research team that includes a former top FBI
scientist is challenging the bullet analysis used by the government to conclude
that Lee Harvey Oswald alone shot the two bullets that struck and killed
President John F. Kennedy in 1963. The "evidence used to rule out a second
assassin is fundamentally flawed," concludes a new article in the Annals of
Applied Statistics written by former FBI lab metallurgist William A. Tobin and
Texas A&M University researchers Cliff Spiegelman and William D. James. The
researchers' re-analysis involved new statistical calculations and a modern
chemical analysis of bullets from the same batch Oswald is purported to have
used. They reached no conclusion about whether more than one gunman was
involved, but urged that authorities conduct a new and complete forensic
re-analysis of the five bullet fragments left from the assassination in Dallas."

New evidence challenges official picture of Kennedy shooting 2/22/2008 Guardian: "Little
about the official explanation of the events at the Ambassador Hotel on June 5
1968 makes sense. Now a new forensic analysis of the only audio recording of the
fatal shots has given new weight to a controversial theory that there were in
fact two shooters, and that the man convicted of Kennedy's killing — Sirhan
Sirhan - did not fire the fatal shots."

Dallas County DA's office finds cache of JFK memorabilia 2/17/2008 Dallas
Morning News: "Mr. Watkins, Ms. Moore and several investigators from the DA's
office found the boxes of materials about a year ago because they had heard that
the gun used to kill Oswald was somewhere in the courthouse. They didn't find
the gun, which Mr. Mack said is privately owned, but instead found the records
and other items. For the past year, they've been trying to determine what they
discovered and began scanning some of the documents. The process is not
complete. The boxes probably sat in the safe since being moved when the
courthouse opened in 1989. Mr. Watkins said he plans to donate the files to an
entity that will authenticate and preserve them, as well as make them available
to the public. It's interesting, and it's not ours," Mr. Watkins said. "It's the
public's." No one has yet thoroughly read all of the documents, so it's not
known whether they contain information previously unknown to the public or the
Warren Commission." [TV coverage shows numerous boxes]

Former President Ford Admits CIA Compromised the Warren Commission's Probe of
JFK Assassination 1/9/2008 Crime Magazine: "In his final public words,
former President Gerald R. Ford said the CIA destroyed or kept from
investigators critical secrets connected to the 1963 assassination of President
John F. Kennedy. The stunning admission by Ford—a member of the Warren
Commission that investigated the JFK assassination—is contained in the foreword
to a new edition of the commission's report, A Presidential Legacy and The
Warren Commission. Ford died in late 2006 at the age of 93. In the new book,
Ford said the commission's probe put "certain classified and potentially
damaging operations in danger of being exposed." The CIA's reaction, he added,
"was to hide or destroy some information, which can easily be misinterpreted as
collusion in JFK's assassination."

The George
Joannides Coverup by Jefferson Morley 12/8/2007 JFK Lancer: Published
5/19/05 - "People interested in the JFK story will be interested to know that
the CIA is due to file papers in court tomorrorow, May 20, to block release of
certain JFK assassination-related documents. The records in question concern a
deceased CIA officer named George Joannides. At the time of Kennedy's death,
Joannides was the Chief of Psychological Warfare branch of the Agency's JM/WAVE
station in Miami. Among his primary responsibilities were guiding, monitoring
and financing the Revolutionary Cuban Student Directorate or DRE, one of the
largest and most effective anti-Castro groups in the United States. CIA records
show, and the group's former leaders confirm, that Joannides provided them with
up $18-25,000 per month while insisting they submit to CIA discipline.
Joannides, in his job evaluation of 31 July 1963, was credited with having
established control over the group."

CIA Loses Case at DC Circuit 12/8/2007 JFK Lancer: "The CIA had previously
won summary judgment on a case where requester Jefferson Morley sought records
on George Joannides, a deceased CIA agent. The Circuit Court however found that
the CIA's search wasn't adequate as it hadn't search usually FOIA exempt
operational files because in this case there was an exception that made these
files non-exempt from the FOIA in their entirety. The Court remanded the case
back to the lower court for the CIA to search its operational files. Further,
the CIA was ordered to search JFK act files that it had transferred to NARA, but
had admitted to keeping copies of as well as to sent to NARA but that aren't to
be released to the public until 2017. Finally, the Court found the CIA's
description of its search inadequate and remanded the case for a further
explanation of the search."

Appeals Court Rules in Favor of Morley on Joannides Records 12/7/2007 AARC: "The
U.S. Court of Appeals reversed Judge Richard Leon's decision to deny release of
records related to George Joannides' service in 1963, and ordered the CIA to
search its operational files for Joannides material and explain the absence of
monthly reports on the DRE during his tenure."

The Man Who Didn't Talk 11/23/2007 Playboy: "Bob Woodward, my former
colleague at the Washington Post, once warned me in a collegial way that the
story of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was a journalistic
"black hole," and so it is. The JFK story is literally a dark core of cultural
energy that can swallow your time and sanity. At the same time, the black hole
of Kennedy's assassination exercises a gravitational pull on the American
imagination that cannot be ignored."

44 Years
After JFK's Death, New Assassination Plot Revealed 11/22/2007 ABC: published
11/22/07 - "Bolden said the president didn't come to Chicago because he was
basically waved off by the Secret Service, and it wasn't because he had a cold.
Information about Vallee, his similarity in appearance and background to Oswald
and details of the Cuban hit squad in Chicago were never given to federal agents
in Dallas."

ARNON
MILCHAN - MOSSAD'S MAN IN THE MIDDLE 9/19/2007 Wake Up from Your
Slumber: "In Milchan's highly-controversial film JFK (1991), directed by Oliver
Stone, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is ascribed to
conspirators within the U.S. military-industrial complex. Whose idea was this?
Why is Arnon Milchan's own criminal connection with Itzhak Rabin, who was in
Dallas on the day Kennedy was shot, not an issue here?"

Deep
Politics III 8/25/2007 History Matters: several extracts from Peter Dale
Scott's new writings on the assassination of President Kennedy

JFK, 9/11 and War 8/18/2007 911Truth.org: by Peter Dale Scott - "In
American history there are two types of event: ordinary events which the
information systems of the country can understand and establish. There are also
deep events, or meta-events, which the mainstream information systems of the
country cannot digest. I mean by a “deep event” an event in which it is clear
from the outset that there are aspects which will not be dealt with in the
mainstream media, and will be studied only by those so-called “conspiracy
theorists” who specialize in deep history. The events I shall discuss today
exhibit continuities with each other and with other deep events, notably the
Iran-Contra affair of the mid 1980s and the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995. But
the three I shall discuss today – the JFK assassination, the initial Watergate
break-ins, and 9/11 – are outstanding in this respect: that while they were
attributed to insignificant and very marginal people, they had momentous impact,
far more than most daily events by more important people, in redirecting
American history. 1 If history is what is recorded, then deep history is the sum
of events which tend to be officially obscured or even suppressed in traditional
books and media. Important recent deep events include the political
assassinations of the 1960s, Watergate, Iran-Contra, and now 9/11. All these
deep events have involved what I call the deep state, that part of the state
which is not publicly accountable, and pursues its goals by means which will not
be approved by a public examination. The CIA (with its on-going relationships to
drug-traffickers) is an obvious aspect of the deep state, but not the only one,
perhaps not even the dirtiest."

Don’t Call It a Conspiracy — the Kennedy Brothers 7/12/2007 RU Sirius: "An
explosive new book by David Talbot, Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy
Years, examines the hostility that existed between the Kennedy brothers and
their own military, intelligence and enforcement agencies during the JFK
administration in the early 1960s. The book also reveals that Robert Kennedy,
who was Attorney General during his brother's presidency, believed that JFK was
killed by an insider conspiracy of powerful players who didn't like some of the
president's actions." [interview with author follows]

Scientists Cast
Doubt on Kennedy Bullet Analysis 5/17/2007 WaPo: "Tobin, Spiegelman and
James said they bought the same brand and lot of bullets used by Oswald and
analyzed their lead using the new standards. The bullets from that batch are
still on the market as collectors' items. They found that the scientific and
statistical assumptions Guinn used — and the government accepted at the time —
to conclude that the fragments came from just two bullets fired from Oswald's
gun were wrong. "This finding means that the bullet fragments from the
assassination that match could have come from three or more separate bullets,"
the researchers said. "If the assassination fragments are derived from three or
more separate bullets, then a second assassin is likely," the researchers said.
If the five fragments came from three or more bullets, that would mean a second
gunman's bullet would have had to strike the president, the researchers
explained."

Farewell
America by James Hepburn 5/11/2007 jfk-online.com: "A combination of these
powerful interests called "The Committee" coordinated all aspects of the murder,
from setting the time and place of the shooting to the recruitment of the gunmen
and the cover-up of the conspiracy afterward. The bottom line was that enemies
of JFK collaborated with the CIA to erase the perceived threat to their
interests by John and Robert Kennedy. Heady stuff for 1968. So incendiary, in
fact, that importation of the book through Canada was squelched, allegedly at
the instigation of the FBI. Farewell America wasn't just another book about the
assassination conspiracy; it was full of restricted information about U.S.
intelligence agencies, the White House, global business, and military and
political affairs that had to have come from a knowledgeable source, in this
case, French intelligence. It also represented the surreptitious intrusion by
those in French government circles into American politics, namely, the 1968
presidential elections. Farewell America is well documented with footnotes and
appendices, and supported by an exceptional Introduction by noted investigative
author and best selling author William Turner, an ex-FBI Special Agent. Herve
Lamarre, the publisher of the original edition of Farewell America, admitted
that the author of record, James Hepburn, was fictitious and that the true
sources included Andre Ducret of the Surete; Interpol; and, among others in
French intelligence, Philippe Vasjoly, the chief French petroleum agent in the
United States. William Turner is an authority on the Kennedy assassinations, the
FBI and the CIA, and is the author of nine books (translated into six
languages), including his recent best selling memoirs, Rearview Mirror: Looking
Back at the FBI, the CIA and Other Tails (Penmarin, 2001). From Chapter 13:
"President Kennedy's assassination was the work of magicians. It was a stage
trick, complete with accessories and false mirrors, and when the curtain fell
the actors, and even the scenery, disappeared."

Cuba's #2
official today was coup leader for JFK in Nov 63, US gov reveals! 12/1/2006 Ultimate
Sacrifice: "As reported by Liz Smith in the 9-22-06 NY Post, the US government
has revealed that the coup leader for JFK and RFK in November 1963 was Commander
Juan Almeida, then head of the Cuban Army. He is currently listed by the CIA as
the #2 official in Cuba today (just below Raul Castro)."

After
40 Years, the First National Security Whistleblower Still Seeks Justice 11/30/2006 Common
Dreams: published 2/17/06 - "After an outstanding career in law enforcement,
Abraham Bolden was appointed by John F. Kennedy to be the first African American
presidential Secret Service agent, where he served with distinction. But you
haven't heard about Abraham Bolden during Black History month, because after
helping to prevent JFK's assassination in the weeks before Dallas, Bolden was
arrested on the very day he went to Washington to tell the Warren Commission
about those attempts. Caught in a maze of National Security concerns that only
became clear after four million pages of JFK files were released in the 1990s,
Bolden was sentenced to six years in prison, becoming America's first National
Security Whistleblower. The files released after Congress passed the JFK Act
unanimously in 1992 show the massive amount of information that had been
withheld from at least five Congressional investigations. Even worse, the Final
Report of the JFK Board created by Congress shows that crucial files about
attempts against JFK--the cases Bolden worked on--were destroyed by the Secret
Service in 1995. And, a report by the government oversight group OMB Watch says
that "well over one million CIA records" related to JFK's era remain unreleased,
perhaps until the mandatory release date of 2017... Unknown to Bolden until
recently, the crux of all this secrecy about the attempts to assassinate JFK in
Chicago, Tampa, and Dallas were John and Robert Kennedys' "Plan for a Coup in
Cuba" to overthrow Fidel Castro on December 1, 1963. The most secret operation
of the Kennedy years, the CIA side of the operation was code-named AMWORLD, a
term withheld from five Congressional investigations (and the Warren Commission)
and declassified only in the 1990s. It appeared in print for the first time just
three months ago. Using declassified files from the National Archives, we found
that in the days, weeks, and months before Dallas, Robert Kennedy had a secret
government committee looking at how the US could deal with the "assassination of
American officials" if Castro found out about the Kennedys' coup plan, and tried
to retaliate."

Re-Open RFK assassination 11/22/2006 Global Research: "O’Sullivan found
video images of Campbell with another figure who has now been identified as
George Joannides, a pivotal figure in the CIA and the re-investigation of the
assassination of JFK. Joannides had been the Chief of Psychological Warfare
Operations at JM-Wave. He had retired from his CIA post, but in 1978 he returned
to active duty, as it were, as the liaison between the House Select Committee on
Assassinations (HSCA) during its re-investigation of the assassinations of JFK
and Martin Luther King. Puzzling, perplexing and problematic, Joannides failed
to inform his colleagues at the HSCA that he had ever worked at JM-Wave. This is
a troubling enigma for it suggests that he intended to maintain his covert
identity – a fact that would compromise his involvement in the HSCA and
jeopardize the entire congressional investigation. A former researcher with the
HSCA, Ed Lopez, identified Joannides as the person in the Ambassador Hotel video
with what he described on camera as 99% accuracy. More. Lopez recalled Joannides
obstructive practice of denying the HSCA access to crucial documents in the
re-investigation of the assassination of JFK."

Did the CIA kill Bobby Kennedy? 11/20/2006 Guardian: "Morales was a
legendary figure in CIA covert operations. According to close associate Tom
Clines, if you saw Morales walking down the street in a Latin American capital,
you knew a coup was about to happen. When the subject of the Kennedys came up in
a late-night session with friends in 1973, Morales launched into a tirade that
finished: "I was in Dallas when we got the son of a bitch and I was in Los
Angeles when we got the little bastard." From this line grew my odyssey into the
spook world of the 60s and the secrets behind the death of Bobby Kennedy.
Working from a Cuban photograph of Morales from 1959, I viewed news coverage of
the assassination to see if I could spot the man the Cubans called El Gordo -
The Fat One. Fifteen minutes in, there he was, standing at the back of the
ballroom, in the moments between the end of Kennedy's speech and the shooting.
Thirty minutes later, there he was again, casually floating around the darkened
ballroom while an associate with a pencil moustache took notes. The source of
early research on Morales was Bradley Ayers, a retired US army captain who had
been seconded to JM-Wave, the CIA's Miami base in 1963, to work closely with
chief of operations Morales on training Cuban exiles to run sabotage raids on
Castro. I tracked Ayers down to a small town in Wisconsin and emailed him stills
of Morales and another guy I found suspicious - a man who is pictured entering
the ballroom from the direction of the pantry moments after the shooting,
clutching a small container to his body, and being waved towards an exit by a
Latin associate. Ayers' response was instant. He was 95% sure that the first
figure was Morales and equally sure that the other man was Gordon Campbell, who
worked alongside Morales at JM-Wave in 1963 and was Ayers' case officer shortly
before the JFK assassination."

JFK's
Biggest Secret Revealed -- But Will Congress Keep History from Repeating Itself? 10/19/2006 Common
Dreams: "The JFK-Almeida coup failed because it was infiltrated by three Mafia
bosses targeted for prosecution by Attorney General Robert Kennedy (who played
the leading role in managing the coup plan for his brother). The Mafia chiefs --
banned by the Kennedys from the coup plan, and from reopening their casinos in
Cuba -- infiltrated the CIA's portion of the coup plan, and used parts of it to
kill JFK in Dallas. This forced key US officials -- RFK, LBJ, and J. Edgar
Hoover -- into a cover-up to protect Almeida and prevent a possible nuclear
confrontation with the Soviets, a cover-up which continued for decades." [LBJ
used this to pressure Warren into the "lone gunman" theory.]

LITEMPO: The CIA's Eyes on Tlatelolco 10/18/2006 National Security
Archives: "The declassified U.S. documents reveal CIA recruitment of agents
within the upper echelons of the Mexican government between 1956 and 1969. The
informants used in this secret program included President Gustavo Díaz Ordaz and
future President Luis Echeverría. The documents detail the relationships
cultivated between senior CIA officers, such as chief of station Winston Scott,
and Mexican government officials through a secret spy network code-named
"LITEMPO." Operating out of the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City, Scott used the
LITEMPO project to provide "an unofficial channel for the exchange of selected
sensitive political information which each government wanted the other to
receive but not through public protocol exchanges." [Scott was Chief of Station
in 1963 at the time of the JFK hit.]

Robert Gaylon Ross Sr. interview with Madeleine Duncan Brown 8/31/2006 Google
Video: "The night before the Kennedy assassination, Lyndon Baines Johnson met
with Dallas tycoons, FBI moguls and organized crime kingpins - emerging from the
conference to tell his mistress Madeleine Duncan Brown that "those SOB's" would
never embarrass him again. It's a jaw-dropping deposition and it's the biggest
JFK smoking gun there is - despite the fact that it has received little media
attention. Before her death on June 22 2002, prolific author and lecturer Robert
Gaylon Ross had the opportunity to conduct an 80 minute sit-down interview with
Madeleine Duncan Brown and from that lengthy discussion the truth about exactly
who was behind the assassination of JFK was exposed."

A bang not a whimper: Bush’s Endgame Strategy 5/12/2006 Global
Research: "When the little that is now known about the background of Josh Bolten
and Joel Kaplan is examined, it turns out that they are slightly more than mere
proteges of Karl Rove, as they were initially described. Josh Bolten’s father is
Seymour Bolten, who was a top ranking deputy to George Herbert Walker Bush
during his brief, eleven-month tenure as Director (DCI) of the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA) in 1976. The two men worked closely together.
Documents released through the FOIA revealed Bolten Sr’s role in assisting Bush
Sr. to probe a troubling problem for a previous DCI, Richard Helms. When
embarrassing documents were published that proved Helms had deliberately
misinformed the Warren Commission, Bolten Sr. advised Bush Sr. that Helms had
lied to the Warren Commission when he told them that the CIA had never
“contemplated” contacting Lee Harvey Oswald. Later documents proved that Helms
was lying, and this scandal threatened to open one of the most malignant enigmas
ever doomed to stalk the shadows of American history: the assassination of JFK,
Lee Harvey Oswald and the CIA. This was a problem that Bush Sr. did not want to
see return from the dead to haunt the CIA on his watch as DCI. Bush Sr.
instructed Bolten Sr. to analyze Helms’s exposure to further legal problems and
criminal charges that might arise from his false testimony to the Warren
Commission. In doing so, Bolten Sr. concluded that the former DCI’s predicament
might cause him some public discomfort but no additional legal problems, i.e. no
criminal charges. Helms had other legal problems involving lying under oath to a
Senate Committee investigating the CIA. For these crimes, Helms would eventually
receive the censure of Congress."

Rethinking Chomsky 4/18/2006 NY Transfer News Collective: "Rethinking
Camelot (Boston: South End Press, 1993) is Noam Chomsky's worst book. I don't
think it merits a detailed review, but we should be clear about the stand that
"America's leading intellectual dissident," as he is often called, has taken on
the assassination. It is not significantly different from that of the Warren
Commission or the majority of Establishment journalists and government
apologists, and diametrically opposed to the view "widely held in the grassroots
movements and among left intellectuals" (p. 37) and in fact to the view of the
majority of the population. For Chomsky, the only theories of the assassination
"of any general interest are those that assume a massive cover-up, and a
high-level conspiracy that required that operation." These he rejects out of
hand because "There is not a phrase in the voluminous internal record hinting at
any thought of such a notion," and because the cover-up "would have to involve
not only much of the government and the media, but a good part of the
historical, scientific, and medical professions. An achievement so immense would
be utterly without precedent or even remote analogue.""

ANOTHER INSULT FROM BUSH AND THE PENTAGON NEO-CONS 3/11/2006 From The
Wilderness: "But there is something else about John F. Kennedy in particular
that makes the Bushes jumpy. The name "George Bush" appears much too frequently
in documents, some newly released, relating to the assassination of President
Kennedy. Since there is no statute of limitations on murder or accessory to
murder, I can understand why Bush pere and fils may want to erase November 22,
1963 from the history books. The document trail linking George H. W. Bush to
those involved in the assassination of President Kennedy is nothing less than
chilling."

The Assassination of Robert Kennedy - USA, 1992 2/19/2006 RICENPEAS
FILMS: "The Assassination of Robert Kennedy, a gripping documentary by the
acclaimed producer Chris Plumley, exposes how the CIA planted two operatives
within the Los Angeles Police Department who manipulated the investigation of
Kennedy’s assassination. Robert Kennedy’s death seemed an open and shut case,
yet in spite of the testimonies of seventy-seven witnesses, it remains shrouded
in mystery. Many witnesses at the time complained of pressure by the LAPD to
change their testimony. For the first time, Plumley exposes how evidence was
changed: how an FBI officer saw bullets being removed from the scene of the
assassination and how LAPD officers who didn’t tow the line found themselves
suspended on ridiculous charges or taken off the case. This hard-hitting
documentary is produced in the gripping style of The Day The Dream Died, the
documentary which catapulted Chris Plumley to international prominence and
formed the backbone of Oliver Stone’s acclaimed film JFK."

Excerpt: 'Ultimate
Sacrifice' 2/3/2006 Alternet: "Our investigation has produced clear
evidence that the crime bosses arranged the assassination so that any thorough
investigation would expose the Kennedys' C-Day coup plan. They were confident
that any such exposure could push America to the brink of war with Cuba and the
Soviet Union, meaning that they could assassinate JFK with relative impunity."

The Cuban connection is still in Miami and Dallas 1/20/2006 Granma: "Ruby
also had links with David Yaras, the mafia executor who admitted to having met
him in 1964, and with David Ferrie, of Cuban origin, Marcello’s pilot who, in
his turn used to see Lee Harvey Oswald in New Orleans. According to the
Committee findings, Ferrie, who was a CIA agent, was also in contact with Oswald
through the Aerial Civil Patrol Falcon Squadron and a famous New Orleans office
on 544 Camp Street, where members of groups acting against the Cuban Revolution,
like Guy Bannister, also operated. Oswald had his office for the deceptively
titled Fair Play with Cuba organization in the same building at the same time."

Castro Did It - Again 1/10/2006 JFK Accountability: by Peter Dale Scott,
Rex Bradford - "Although there is legitimate concern that the latest revival of
this theory at this time may be a prelude to a revival of anti-Castro
operations, it is also possible that it is a diversion. A diversion from the
increasing revelations about the games that the CIA was playing with Oswald
files just before the assassination. And a diversion from the growing consensus
that previously-suppressed facts about Kennedy's policies on Cuba and the Cold
War, which placed him at odds with powerful hard-liners in his own country, may
indeed lie at the heart of the mystery about his murder."

Book links Mafia and plot against Castro to JFK killing 12/2/2005 Independent: "But
critics have pointed to problems with the book's thesis: Robert McNamara, then
running the Pentagon, has said he was not informed of any new plan to invade
Cuba before Kennedy's death. It is also implausible that the Mafia, itching to
get rid of Castro and restore Cuba's once lucrative gambling industry, would
have blocked a plot that would have done just that."

The
Enduring JFK Mystery 11/22/2005 Consortium News: "Dr. Thomas presented a
stark contrast to Garwin. Thomas began by asserting that the number on the tape
Garwin tested was not the number of the tape the House assassination committee
tested. He also pointed out that there is a difference in recording speed and
playback speed, and that Garwin’s team had applied one which made the shot
sounds no longer line up with the House committee analysis. Thomas provided
slides that made clear the points he was making. One could feel the change in
the room. People now felt they could follow along as Thomas lined up each sound
with the motorcycle’s probable position, and then showed us pictures from the
Zapruder film and others that confirmed that the motorcycle cop, Officer H.B.
McLain, was indeed in those positions at those times."

Assassination in Puerto Rico - The FBI Murders a Legend 9/26/2005 CounterPunch: "Filiberto,
she says, knew that the FBI was there to kill him and did not talk at any time
about surrendering himself. After all, that is what happened in Cerro Maravilla,
where the local police -acting allegedly in cohort with the FBI- executed two
unarmed independentistas, well after they had surrendered to the authorities.
The Attorney General for Puerto Rico has already corroborated Elma's story. The
FBI fired more than a hundred rounds of bullets. Filiberto was able to respond
only ten times. There was no attempt to arrest him; they came to kill him with
premeditation… From 1990 to 2005, Filiberto was running loose in Puerto Rico,
outsmarting the FBI on an Island that is smaller than the State of Connecticut
and where everybody, through means of gossip, can easily find out what the other
islanders are doing, even in their bed. So, the FBI knew for sure that Filiberto
was being protected by the community at large. The FBI had a motive for their
assassination. Filiberto Ojeda will be buried the afternoon of September 27,
2005, as a hero in his hometown of Naguabo, Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rican Bar
Association has announced that it will conduct a full investigation -together
with the Government of Puerto Rico- to determine if the FBI murdered Ojeda."

Robertson
called for the assassination of Venezuela's president 8/22/2005 Media
Matters: "He has destroyed the Venezuelan economy, and he's going to make that a
launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism all over the
continent. You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if
he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go
ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war. And I don't think
any oil shipments will stop. But this man is a terrific danger and the United
... This is in our sphere of influence, so we can't let this happen. We have the
Monroe Doctrine, we have other doctrines that we have announced. And without
question, this is a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of
oil, that could hurt us very badly. We have the ability to take him out, and I
think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don't need another
$200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole
lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over

Accidentally Uncovers the Conspiracy to Assassinate RFK 6/1/2005 JFK
Lancer: "Dan Moldea, author of the book, "The Killing of Robert F. Kennedy",
participated in a recent television special on the RFK assassination. Using,
laser sights, stand-ins, and a re-creation of the Ambassador Hotel pantry in
which the assassination occurred, Moldea purported to account for the six
assassination victim's wounds using no more bullets than Sirhan's gun could
hold. Moldea's television explanation, the same offered in his book, has several
fatal shortcomings. One particularly critical conclusion by Moldea ensures that,
under his scenario, no less than 9 shots were necessary to account for the
victims' wounds. Problematically for Moldea, Sirhan fired an 8-shot revolver,
which he unquestionably did not reload."

Posada has something on Bush, says expert on Kennedy case 4/29/2005 Granma: "Dankbaar,
also a Dutch businessman, who has made a documentary on the assassination of
Kennedy titled Second Look, has shown how one of the three individuals arrested
by Dallas police shortly after the crime placed Luis Posada Carriles in Dealey
Square in that same city at the moment of the assassination."

About the Death
of a Senator 10/25/2004 Assassination Science: "Today we announce the
publication of AMERICAN ASSASSINATION: THE STRANGE DEATH OF PAUL WELLSTONE,
which I have co-authored with Don "Four Arrows" Jacobs and which is being
published by Sander Hicks of Vox Pop of New York City. In the course of its 200
pages, this book establishes (a) that the Bush administration had powerful
motives for taking him out (Chapter 2), (b) that the NTSB report cannot be
sustained (Chapter 7), and (c) that the Senator's death was no accident (Chapter
8)."

About AMERICAN
ASSASSINATION 10/25/2004 Assassination Science: "Niman was clearly right
about the political motives of the White House for taking him out; the question
was whether it was reasonable to suppose it might go that far. In this context,
a report from Michael Ruppert, fromthewilderness.com, was especially disturbing,
when he explained that he had been contacted by a former CIA operative familiar
with the conduct of assassinations, who told him it had been a hit and "having
played ball (and still playing, in some respects) with this current crop of
reinvigorated old white men, these clowns are nobody to screw around with. There
will be a few more strategic accidents. You can be sure of that." "

Warren Report: The Lone Assassin Theory 9/18/2004 C-SPAN: Assassination
Archives & Research Center - "The conference is co-sponsored by the Cyril H.
Wecht Institute of Forensic Science and Law and the Committee for an Open
Archive. Part of the second day of a symposium on the Warren Commission Report
on the Kennedy assassination."

The mother of all coverups 9/16/2004 Salon: "But there is one sanctuary
where the Warren Report is still stubbornly upheld and where its manifold
critics can expect their own rough treatment: in the towers of the media elite…
One of the great ironies of history is that while the media elite was busily
trying to shore up public confidence in the Warren Report, the political elites
were privately confiding among themselves that the report was a travesty, a
fairy tale for mass consumption. Presidents, White House aides, intelligence
officials, senators, congressmen, even foreign leaders -- they all muttered
darkly among themselves that Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy, a plot that a
number of them suspected had roots in the U.S. government itself. (In truth,
some high media dignitaries have also quietly shared their doubts about the
official version. In 1993, CBS anchorman Dan Rather, who did much along with his
network to enforce the party line on Dallas, confessed to Robert Tannenbaum, the
former deputy chief counsel of the House Select Committee on Assassinations, "We
really blew it on the Kennedy assassination.") "

Digital copy of audio tape could finally unlock secrets of JFK's assassination 8/5/2004 Independent: "Scientists
are to produce a digital copy of the only known audio recording of the
assassination to allow researchers to analyse the sound of the gun-shots
captured on the recording. The original, preserved on an analogue tape, has not
been played since the early 80s because it is so fragile. The recording was made
through the microphone of a motorcycle policeman's radio and captured on a
portable tape recorder back at headquarters."

VANUNU SPEAKS 8/1/2004 AFP: ""My view is that Kennedy was assassinated
because of his strong opposition to [Israeli prime minister] Ben Gurion," Vanunu
said. At the time, Ben Gurion was working to create a nuclear arsenal for
Israel. The group that was involved with Ben Gurion in developing and protecting
Israel's nuclear arsenal "was behind the assassination of Kennedy," Vanunu
said."

Vanunu Speaks 7/31/2004 Truth Seeker: "Iran’s Tehran Times, writing from
Jerusalem, said: “In a startling accusation, nuclear whistleblower Mordechai
Vanunu has alleged that Jerusalem was behind the assassination of U.S. President
John F. Kennedy, who was exerting pressure on the then Israeli head of state to
shed light on the Dimona nuclear plant.” Similar articles appeared in newspapers
around the world, but in the United States this explosive news was only reported
by wire services and in Jewish newspapers."

The Assassination Tapes 6/6/2004 Atlantic: "Lyndon Johnson secretly

both JFK's assassination and his own presidency. Herewith excerpts from his 1967

Who Killed Kennedy? 1/24/2004 Portsmouth Herald: "Gen. Wesley Clark: You
know, I have done casual reading on this. I’ve never made an exhaustive study. I
believe he was the lone gunman."

Who killed Kennedy? 1/17/2004 Portsmouth Herald, NH: "Keating: We recently
marked the 40th anniversary of the assassination of JFK. Polls show that a
majority of Americans do not believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman.
My question to you, as someone who is running for the office that he held at the
time of his assassination, is what do you believe? Dean: I believe what I read
and what I’ve read is the Warren Commission, or some of it. And their conclusion
is that he was the lone assassin. I’m not a big conspiracy theorist. Now I don’t
deny that conspiracies exist, but this was never one that I’ve been highly
attracted by. So I go with what I consider to be the mainstream opinion on this
one, which is that it’s likely it was a single assassin."

A sober look at the Kennedy assassination 12/28/2003 Plain Dealer,
Cleveland: another researcher not clued in to the Zapruder forgery? - "Wrone
concludes that two or more assassins shot Kennedy, and that Oswald was not among
them. Wrone has no idea who the assassins were and doubts if anybody will solve
the murder. He comes to this conclusion through a painstaking analysis of the
26-second movie shot by amateur cameraman Abraham Zapruder as the Kennedy
motorcade passed by his vantage point."

Celebrated authors demand that the CIA come clean on JFK assassination 12/17/2003 Salon: "At
issue in the suit, filed Tuesday in Washington, are records on the unexplained
role of a Miami-based undercover CIA agent named George Joannides in the months
prior to Kennedy's murder on Nov. 22, 1963. The authors supporting the suit
include anti-conspiracist Gerald Posner, author of the 1993 book "Case Closed,"
and Norman Mailer and Don DeLillo, two leading novelists who have explored the
mysteries surrounding accused JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. Also backing the
lawsuit are legal experts G. Robert Blakey, the former chief counsel of the
House Select Committee on Assassinations, which in the late 1970s investigated
Kennedy's death, and John Tunheim, a federal judge who chaired the Assassination
Records Review Board in the mid-1990s."

Notes on Kennedy's assassination donated 12/15/2003 AP: "Former Texas first

Revealed: how Kennedy's assassination thwarted hopes of Cuba reconciliation 11/26/2003 Guardian,
UK: "A few days before his assassination, President Kennedy was planning a
meeting with Cuban officials to negotiate the normalisation of relations with
Fidel Castro, according to a newly declassified tape and White House documents.
The rapprochement was cut off in Dallas 40 years ago this week by Lee Harvey
Oswald, who appears to have believed he was assassinating the president in the
interests of the Cuban revolution. But the new evidence suggests that Castro saw
Kennedy's killing as a setback. He tried to restart a dialogue with the next
administration, but Lyndon Johnson was at first too concerned about appearing
soft on communism and later too distracted by Vietnam to respond."

Kennedy
Sought Dialogue with Cuba - INITIATIVE WITH CASTRO ABORTED BY ASSASSINATION,
DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS SHOW 11/24/2003 National Security Archive: contains
extensive documentation: "On the 40th anniversary of the assassination of John
F. Kennedy, and the eve of the broadcast of a new documentary film on Kennedy
and Castro, the National Security Archive today posted an audio tape of the
President and his national security advisor, McGeorge Bundy, discussing the
possibility of a secret meeting in Havana with Castro. The tape, dated only
seventeen days before Kennedy was shot in Dallas, records a briefing from Bundy
on Castro's invitation to a U.S. official at the United Nations, William
Attwood, to come to Havana for secret talks on improving relations with
Washington. The tape captures President Kennedy's approval if official U.S.
involvement could be plausibly denied."

The saga
of Rolando Cubela 11/24/2003 Keys News: the weapon Johnson used to cudgel
the Warren Commission: "After President Lyndon B. Johnson reviewed the report,
he told a reporter, in confidence at the time: "Kennedy was trying to kill
Castro. Castro got him first." "

Were the Feds
Capable of Killing Kennedy? 11/24/2003 The Future of Freedom
Foundation: "Unfortunately, we may never know all the answers to the Kennedy
assassination because of two undeniable conspiracies entered into by U.S.
officials immediately after it occurred: the conspiracy not to aggressively
investigate whether there were other people who shot at President Kennedy and
the conspiracy to keep the government’s investigative files into the
assassination secret from the American people until the year 2029, when missing
and destroyed evidence would be nothing more than a historical curiosity. If
those two conspiracies had never been entered into, the central questions of who
killed Kennedy and who covered the murder up would probably have been settled
long ago."

Searching for the truth 11/22/2003 Amarillo Globe News: "One of the things
Sturdivan focused on was debunking the extra gunman theory, which was
popularized in part by the Zapruder film that showed JFK's head jerking back, as
if he had been shot from in front and behind. "We were able to explain for the
first time the reason for Kennedy's backward motion in the car," Sturdivan said.
"A colleague and I resurrected some archival films that showed that the shot to
the head caused an intense neuromuscular reaction, and that is the reason
Kennedy jerked backward after the shot." Sturdivan's findings are extremely
complex, but the layman's explanation is that the bullet pierced the top of the
spinal column, stretched the nerves and caused them to send out messages
essentially forcing every muscle in the body to seize up. Because a human's back
muscles are stronger than his abdominal muscles, Kennedy's body instinctively
arched his back, slamming it backward." - a pity that this boy's life work is
based on the fraudulent Zapruder film, where the backward motion is one of a
number of artifacts of that fraud, including two spices along the sequence of
the film and a continuous splice separating the entire intersprocket area from
the rest of the film.

LBJ aides say JFK documentary a smear 11/20/2003 AP: "The program aired as
part of an umbrella series titled ''The Men Who Killed Kennedy,'' a package of
documentaries about various conspiracy theories regarding Kennedy's death. ''The
History Channel does not say that any of these theories are correct nor does not
in any way say that the theory in this program is correct,'' the channel said in
a statement. ''We are, however, presenting a point of view that has been
meticulously researched." " Note that this last line about being meticulously
researched is not present in other versions of this AP story.

FBI agent blamed in Kennedy's assassination has no regrets 11/19/2003 AP: Other
sources have said that Hosty ran Oswald as an informant. "In hindsight, Hosty
said, it's tragically ironic that of the 35 to 40 cases he was working on in
1963, Oswald's was never once considered a priority. He said his top priority at
the time was investigating extreme right-wing groups who hated Kennedy because
they believed him soft on communism." Hoover 'exiled' Hosty to Kansas City after
Dealy Plaza and Hosty continued to target Minutemen there as he had in Dallas,
where they have been tied to General Walker and Clint Murchison.

Coverage of Kennedy's assassination remembered, revisited 11/19/2003 AP: "Schieffer,
who joined CBS in 1969, used to resent TV cameramen for "always moving in front
of us" in the crowded confines of the downtown Dallas police department. "But
the story was so overpowering that I didn't grasp the significance of television
until later," he said. "From that weekend on, television became the place where
most people turned for news. Up until that time people wanted to see it written
down in black-and-white. That's what validated things." " And led to the one of
history greatest video frauds, the Zapruder film.

Forensic Files: The Assassination of JFK 11/19/2003 Washington Post: "For
instance, the Oswald shirt fiber found on the gun. The neutron analysis study,
the paper fiber analysis from inside the paper pouch. Most of what we know and
hear we hear and learn from the conspiracy folks, which is a little like the
defense in a murder trial presenting before the prosecution. We're trying to
say, here are the facts, here's what's been discovered and be an informed
listener." The Washington Post has always been an enthusiastic endorser of the
Warren Commission!

JFK conspiracy theories just don't stand up 11/18/2003 The Scotsman: "IN A
factual film I have been working on for BBC2, to be screened on Sunday night -
The Kennedy Assassination: Beyond Conspiracy - it is possible to draw for the
first time on extraordinary computerised reconstructions of what happened that
November day in Dallas in 1963. The basis for the reconstructions is the home
movie shot by a local Dallas dressmaker, Abraham Zapruder. It shows the precise
moment of the assassination, and it allows all the subsequent conspiracy
theories to be considered and - in my view - utterly rejected. " This forensic
animation will be successfully used by those who have proven that the Zapruder
is a fraud to better make their case.

World News: New Kennedy Assassination Evidence Revealed 11/17/2003 New
Kerala, India: "Grossman's observations indicate that only two bullets struck
Kennedy. The first entered his upper back above the shoulder blade and exited
from the front of his neck. The second struck the right side of the back of his
skull, near the midline, and fragmented, causing a blast-out of the right side
of the skull above the ear. The locations of the wounds were most compatible
with the gun having been fired from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book
Depository, most likely by a single gunman." This is at odds with testimony from
other doctors in Dallas and at the autopsy in Bethesda, which was misrepresented
by HSCA, the House Select Committee on Assassinations. This article is part of
an all out effort to convince the American public and the world that Oswald was
the lone assassin, despite polls that show more than 70% of Americans do not
believe it.

Cash from conspiracy 11/17/2003 Independent: "Apparently Oswald's ex-wife
has now been persuaded that her former husband was not involved whatsoever. In a
1996 letter she wrote: "At the time of the assassination of this great President
whom I loved, I was misled by the 'evidence' presented to me by government
authorities and I assisted in the conviction of Lee Harvey Oswald... I am now
convinced that he was an FBI informant and believe that he did not kill
President Kennedy." "

Full Disclosure
by Gerald Posner 11/16/2003 Newsweek: "The CIA has never released files
about Oswald's visit to the Soviet embassy in Mexico City weeks before the
assassination of JFK." Includes interesting discussion of the exile group,
Directorio Revolucionario Estudiantil, which helped trigger the Cuba/Soviet
theory used so effectively by Johnson to throttle the Warren Commission. For

explanation for the CIA's unhelpful behavior over the years since. Imagine the
impact on the CIA, already badly damaged by the Bay of Pigs and Kennedy's great
anger over it, of news that some of its subsidized anti-Castro thugs had killed
the President?"

John F. Kennedy: A dual-purpose assassination - An interview with Division Gen.
(r) Fabián Escalante Font ‘They were in Dallas’ (Second and final part) 11/11/2003 Radio
Progresso: "Tony Cuesta and I talked several times. Talking with him was
difficult, because he always spoke as if he were telling a secret. Several times
I told him: “Tony, it's me you're talking to. I'm the only person who can turn
on the microphones here and I haven't turned them on, so talk a bit louder
because I can't hear what you're saying.” It was like a big mystery, as if we
both were conspiring. One time, in the late 1970s, he asks me to go see him.
Probably it was a way to say thanks, because it was difficult for us to save his
life and the process of rehabilitation was very long. We had a long
conversation. We started talking about the exiles, about the principal
characters, Orlando Bosch, Antonio Veciana, Luis Posada Carriles, Jorge Mas
Canosa. But all of a sudden, I don't know how, we started talking about
Kennedy's assassination and the man paled and said more or less this: Herminio
Díaz and Eladio del Valle were in Dallas on that day, Nov. 22. I ask him why
he's telling me this. And he answers that he doesn't know anything else, but
that he does want us to know that Herminio Díaz and Eladio del Valle were
there."

Historian Still Fascinated by "Unsolved Mystery" of Kennedy Assassination 11/5/2003 Newswise: “Cuba
and organized crime certainly are two of the biggest suspects,” Kurtz said.
“It's also quite possible that certain individuals connected with the CIA,
Secret Service, and FBI could have participated in a conspiracy to kill Kennedy
as well. There were certain individuals who participated in many things, such as
the CIA-Mafia assassination plots against Castro. These people wanted
desperately to cover up their actions and in so doing helped to cover up what
was going on with the assassination.”

Franklin notes: JFK assassination theory 11/3/2003 Milford News,

Former chief of the day discusses Kennedy assassination 10/21/2003 Olney
Daily Mail, IL: "While typing the memo, the agent placed a small bottle next to
David. Inside the bottle were around four pieces of lead that David said were
too much for one bullet, the "magic bullet" labeled "Commission Exam 399."
...The autopsy room was filled with high-ranking government officials, David
said. Some of those officials told doctors not to examine certain areas of
Kennedy's body, according to David. Bozwell and Humes, who were not experienced
pathologists, conducted the autopsy… Several days after the autopsy, David said
his friend and mentor, William Bruce Pitzer, who was the head of the
audio/visual department at Bethesda, wanted to show him a 16-millimeter film of
the autopsy as well as some black and white photographs of the procedure. David
said he did not look at the entire film and what he saw was footage prior to the
official autopsy, but there was clearly something amiss. Kennedy's throat was
sloppily slit 2 inches in length and near the corner of his eye was an entrance
wound, a hole no larger than a finger, David said. It appeared that the body had
been tampered with to cover up evidence that Kennedy may have been shot from the
front. It was December 1965 and Pitzer had told David that he would soon be
retiring from Bethesda. David said Pitzer told him he had lucrative offers for
work elsewhere. In April 1966, Pitzer was found dead and had supposedly
committed suicide. "I never really believed Bill committed suicide," David said.
"I still don't today." The film Pitzer possessed is missing, David said. David
said that in the Warren Commission report, there is a section that states the
commission viewed "a film of the autopsy." In the early 1990s, David said
Pitzer's death began being investigated by an author. It was discovered that
Pitzer's wife, Joyce Pitzer, never received a copy of her husband's death
certificate or of his autopsy. In 1992, David said he learned that a retired
lieutenant colonel with the U.S. Army Special Forces named Dan Marvin along with
another man were asked by an agent of the Central Intelligence Agency to
assassinate Pitzer."

recently declassified federal documents, material supplied by the KGB,
information from the Bonano crime family, documents obtained from a French court

the NAS panel's study was seriously flawed. It says the panel failed to take
into account the words of a Dallas patrolman that show the gunshot-like noises
occurred "at the exact instant that John F. Kennedy was assassinated." In fact,
the author of the article, D.B. Thomas, a government scientist and JFK
assassination researcher, said it was more than 96 percent certain that there

addition to the three shots from a book depository window above and behind the

New Book Recounts Tale of Israeli Agent at Home in Hollywood 7/17/2011 NYT:
[Milchan is listed in IMDb as executive producer of Oliver Stone's JFK, which is
not mentioned in this article.] "Mr.
Milchan supervised government-backed accounts and front companies that financed
“the special needs of the entirety of Israel’s intelligence operations outside
the country.” The “special needs” serviced by Mr. Milchan, who is now 66 years
old, included buying components to build and maintain Israel’s nuclear arsenal.
But with the indictment in 1985 of Richard Kelly Smyth, an aerospace executive
who had made illegal shipments of nuclear triggers through Milchan companies,
Mr. Milchan unexpectedly found his arms-dealing in the news even as he was
wrangling with Universal Pictures over the near collapse of a movie, “Brazil,”
directed by Terry Gilliam."
